This really has no place on a corporate blog. But then again, it does.
Peter King talks about the feel good story of this NFL season, in reference to the Denver Broncos:
” Whether Denver’s a championship team or not — and allowing an insane 6.5 points per game through four weeks suggests they’ll battle San Diego for the AFC West title — there’s one thing you have...

We’ve recently had to break something of a sweat in figuring out how to track conversions using Google analytics, when the goal funnel involves sub-domains.
In case anyone else runs into similar problems, here’s what you do:
1) Add this line(in BOLD, below) to your Google Analytics code, on both the starting page(step 1) as well as the conversion page(step 2).

After announcing a few months ago that they were shutting down Brightcove.TV, Brightcove has now announced that they will be discontinuing their ad-supported free version.
The upwards jump is scary..from $0/year, you’re now faced with $6000/year.
I remember a recent interview when Jeremy Allaire said: “We’ve made multiple bets, and the platform side won.”

A number of you have asked us over the last few days, if there is a Marcellus API.
Which tells us:
Setting up a classy workflow is still a problem
upload, content management, customization, and publishing are fundamental challenges for many
The work flow needs to be ubiquitous
it’s one thing to use workflow on Marcellus. It’s quite another to be able to access the same workflow on...

It’s quite interesting. Michael Arrington deleted my comment yesterday, linking to an Alexa chart of Techcrunch traffic and page views, from the time they started out. All I’d done was link to the chart…seriously…that’s it.
Of course, here are the stats from Alexa. I still haven’t quite bought into the accuracy of Feedburner stats(although I think the tool itself...
